Bosch 500 fridge
on June 9, 2025
Posted by: Rover
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Seems to keep temperatures very stable compared to previous. Only nitpick is the water dispenser is angled and sometimes catches my mug/water bottle at the wrong angle and causes some splashes.

5 Stars I agree

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We are very happy with our new Bosch refrigerator. The ratings from Consumers were quite good. It was a little more expensive than we originally planned on spending, however the refrierator seems to be well worth the slightly higher price. We fortuanately purchased our refrigerator before the craziness of higher tariffs. I will stick to my comments on the refrigrator. It is quiet. The entire is well thought out and easy to access both cold items and frozen items. The lighting is bright. The ice maker is quiet and efficient. The exterior is smart in design and just fits into our kitchen perfectly. I do not know how to add a photo.

excellent engineering

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] solid box, doors open effortlessly, even freezer door. My only disappointment is the temperature controls. The display should report the actual temperatures, not the set points. After spending several thousand for this new refrigerator, kinda silly that I have to purchase a cheap analog thermometer to ensure the cooling is working properly and at a temp I prefer; the internal thermo (thermister?) is just not that accuate and could benefit from calibration. (btw: here's hoping Bosch releases a Standard depth 800 Series some day.)
I would recommend this to a friend!

Poor Quality and Terrible Ice Maker
on December 26, 2024
Posted by: Laura
I was so excited to get this refrigerator after loving my dishwasher. I was most excited about a larger capacity ice maker since we use a fair amount on a daily basis for water bottles. Unfortunately, the doors have broken and the fridge doesn't seal very well anymore (approx 6 months after install). The ice maker is almost unusable. It is so loud it wakes us up in the middle of the night and apparently this is a normal occurrence after reading other reviews. It stops being able to make ice 50% of the time and I have had to resort to ice cube trays. The ice maker has had issues after about a week of use which is unacceptable. Do to life being busy, I did not call in the warranty before 1 year (which is ridiculous given the price tag) and I don't want to pay for repairs on something that has already had so many issues. It also doesn't move very easily which is a pain for cleaning underneath. I'm very disappointed with my purchase as I really trusted this brand for quality.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Do not buy
on January 7, 2025
Posted by: Blondie
I like the fridge itself as far as the layout and capacity but I purchased this model because it was supposed to be a great ice machine. I've had it for over a year and the ice machine has been replaced twice and broke again. The filter causes lots of problems. have to replace it alot and this last time i had to have a repairman unplug the line and let air out to get the filter back in. Ridiculous! Because of how my cabinet is built around it the repairman had to take off the doors to do it. Problem after problem
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

New Bosch refrigerator
on January 30, 2025
Posted by: Retired mom
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love my new Bosch refrigerator. It's spacious and the 3 drawers hold so much. The produce drawers keep the produce fresh much longer too. The freezer space is ample for my needs. I'm very happy with everything about it!
I would recommend this to a friend!

IT'S A FRIDGE...NOT FANCY...NO BELLS OR WHISTLES
on April 28, 2025
Posted by: CARRIE
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] NOTHING FANCY, IT'S A FRIDGE WITH "BOSCH" (MODEL B36FD52SNS 500 SERIES FRENCH DOOR BOTTOM MOUNT REFRIDGERATOR) ON IT THAT WOULD FIT IN THE NEW CONDO'S SPACE & ALL UNITS HAVE BOSCH SO WE WENT WITH IT, WISH IT CAME WITH THE WATER/ICE DISPENSER INSIDE THE FRIDGE LIKE THE OTHER MODELS FOR A SLEEKER LOOK; THE DIVIDER ON THE FREEZER'S TOP DRAWER DOES NOT MOVE/SLIDE SO YOU GET WHAT YOU GET; IT DOES NOT COME WITH THE STANDARD CHEESE/BUTTER LIFT TRAY; I HAD A CHEF'S KITCHEN SAMSUNG WITH 4 DOORS AND 6 DRAWERS IN THE FREEZER WHICH I LOVED AND I MISS MY SAMSUNG FRIDGE BUT IT WOULD NOT FIT IN THIS SPACE. AS WITH ALL STAINLESS STEEL APPLIANCES IT SHOWS ALL THE FINGERPRINTS, AND IT WAS DELIVERED WITH A DENT WAITING FOR REPLACEMENT. LIKE ALL FRIDGES IT HAS ADJUSTABLE SHELVES AND THE 2 FRIDGE VEGE/PRODUCE DRAWERS ARE A BIT DEEPER BUT THE DELI SLIM DRAWER DOES NOT SEEM TO BE AS DEEP. NOT SURE WHY DRAWERS AND FREEZER DRAWERS HAVE A RIPPLES (STANDARD) IT MAKES FOR DIFFICULT CLEANING OF THE VALLEYS. WE ARE ON DAY 5 OF THE FRIDGE/FREEZER AND SO FAR IT HAS KEPT OUR FOOD COLD/FROZEN...I STILL HAVE MY OUTDOOR FREEZER FOR MY OVERFLOW OF FROZEN PRODUCTS THANK GOODNESS B/C WHERE DO I STORE MY PIZZAS IN THE BOSCH FREEZER PACKED TO THE RIM? IT'S A FRIDGE, NOTHING FANCY FOR BEING A 'BOSCH'....
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
